Nubia is a territory in North Africa, there was a Nubian Lion, for example. The name can be taken to mean (Land of Clouds) Nubia is a fictional character but her costume is fairly accurate for a theoretical (Girl Knight) inthe late Middle ages. The Mego doll is very accurate and shows her pauldrons which are the forerunners of epaulettes worn on modern military and police get-up design was to protect the shoulders, they wee relatively flexible. Nubia”s armor has a solid breastplate but under that a sort of silvr lame top shirt, this suggests more ceremonial or parade than combatant use. Nubia”s helmet leans mroe to the roman style, than say the French. a nice composite character if you ask me. by the waythere is a beautiful sculpture of Queen Isabella I of Spain on her tomb indeed laid out as a lady Knight-holding the royal sword or Espada(espada means sword in Spanish, not shovel) The Pauldrons (again analogous to epaulets) are clealry shown. I can’t help but think that the artists who created Nubia must have seen illustrtations of Isabella”s tomb. Once a Knight is , here not enough? Code l429 not the only brand! Vaya Con Dios!
